08; I told ya I was trouble [yeah, you know that I'm no good]

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

[Have a Doctor. He's been, uh, indisposed the last few days on the TARDIS and no force in this universe could have him tell you why. As it is, he's wandering around, poking at some of the items left on the plane.]

Not it. Not it. Blimey, this place is starting to look like a dormitory common room.

[he finally finds a trunk he was looking for and turns it over.]

Right, well, that wasn't so hard.

[eyes the hand, raises an eyebrow]

Right, then, enlighten me. What am I doing?

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

[casually]

Lucy wasn't in the TARDIS for the past few days, you know that? Disappeared longer than I liked. I was fretting over her. Refused to let my Doctor leave the planet until we could find her again.

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

I admire your obvious devotion.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

[absent accusation]

Jealous, and I'm not sure who of.

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

[ignores that]

And where was she when you found her?

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Here, actually. Apologizing to Diva for missing a party. Have you met Diva? Lovely woman. French, sort of. Also a vampire. She's actually killed more people here than Self and I have.

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

Yes, the TARDIS despises her.

[shakes his head]

Right, well, at least she's found.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Oddly, I never thought to ask you. I should've; you've shown far too much interest in her of late. But the idea slipped my mind entirely.

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

Well, she's your wife. We're going to be collaborating on a planet. Though, really, from meeting her I think we should just give her the moon. It's unpopulated, she can handle it.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Oh, but she's got her eyes set on Terre d'Ange.

[drums his fingers on the Doctor's chest]

You're putting grand ideas into her head. I'm quite proud of you, actually.

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

Terre D'Ange? Oh! Right, I got her a book from there. She'll do quite well if she manages the dances correctly. You know how they are, always picky about their dances.

Think you and my other self'll take her?

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't want to steal your date, Doctor.

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

She's your wife.

If I need a date, I'll ask Misaki.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Always such a flirt, Doctor!

But really, there's no point in denying it. After all, her mind is easier to read than a... well, than a 32nd century crossword puzzle.

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

[it's time for the Doctor to come clean, it appears. He sighs.]

Right, fine. I thought she'd do well on Terre D'Ange. I wanted to get her established and I'm well-enough known in the court to get her somewhere.

She can play her political games among people who deserve to be hurt. Who enjoy the games you two play.

[well, sort of clean. But his expression reads that he's just let a huge burden off his shoulders]

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

[also coming off of the Doctor's shoulder is the Master's elbow, to be shoved into the Doctor's stomach]

You forgot to admit to the ice skating.

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

[the Doctor doubles over, then straightens and shoves the Master's shoulders]

Wasn't aware you own me like you own her.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

[reaches up to try to grab the Doctor's arms]

You shouldn't touch another man's possessions.

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

[he has no idea what the Master does and doesn't know, so he'll go with "enough". He pushes back, trying to keep his arms free]

Says the man who slept with Rose! For what? To get back at my other self? Who else? Lucy shouldn't be as loyal to you as she is, if you ask me!

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

[steps back]

Lucy loves me.

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

Yes, and she's an idiot for it.

[stalks around him, furious]

Do you have any idea how hard I tried to convince her to travel with me? Oh, come on, Lucy. One trip. Just one. I figure she stays on my TARDIS you won't learn about it and she doesn't get hurt. And NO. She won't leave you.

All you do is hurt her and she just won't. Bloody loyal woman, even if she is stupid.

[I'd like to thank the Academy...]

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Of course I'd find out! How could I not find out?

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

And you'd think she'd do it out of fear, but no, she genuinely wants to stay with you. One life's all she has and she wants it to be with you.

And then you tell me that I have a choice about being alone. When humans pick you over me? There's something wrong with the humans.

I've given up. I'm only traveling with Zygons from here on out.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Pick humans that don't already belong to someone else!

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

Fine.

[hands up]

I'm through trying.

But next time? Try taking care of her if she means so much to you.
